MULTI-AIR CONDITIONER

With this multi-air conditioner, several indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit to be driven. You can operate
the required number of indoor units.

Combination of Operations:

When operation mode is selected:

● You cannot operate the indoor units in the

following combinations.

One unit

Heating

During automatic operation:

● When heating operation is automatically selected for the first indoor unit, the next indoor unit will then start to heat.

Also, if cooling or dehumidifying is automatically selected for the first indoor unit, the next indoor unit will also start
to cool or dehumidify.

Other unit

Cooling

Dehumidifying

Circulating (fan)

● The indoor unit which is switched on first continues to

operate, but other indoor units which is switched on later
does not operate while the lamp lights.

● To re-start an indoor unit which was operated later, stop

the indoor unit which was operated first or later and reset
the type of operation, then perform operation again.

Adjusting the Number of Indoor Units:

Decrease the number of indoor
units to be operated especially
when it is very hot or cold or
when you want to reach the
present temperature quickly.

Stopped Indoor Units:

When an indoor unit is operated in the cooling,
heating or dehumidifying mode in the room, the
sound of refrigerant flow may be heard from a
stopped indoor unit or a stopped indoor unit may
become warm. This is because the indoor unit
returns refrigerant to the outdoor unit to be ready
for operation.
